This event will feature a premiere of Cuatlacuatl’s most recent short experimental film commissioned by UVA exhibition, Fuego Eterno: Visual Sovereignties, as part of a curated selection of Cuatlacuatl’s collection of video productions since 2014. A panel discussion and conversation with the audience will follow.
Federico Cuatlacuatl visually delineates migration and displacement while smuggling acts of self-preservation, rematriation, and resistance. He ‘smuggles’ indigenous Mexican traditions and culture to the United States, reclaiming his ancestral Nahua lineage, land, and language. As a DACAmented member of the Nahua community, Cuatlacuatl’s work is shaped by the colonial marginalization and disenfranchisement faced by indigenous communities in México while being deeply rooted in challenging socio-political and economic relations between México and the United States.
A RECEPTION FOR THE AUDIENCE WILL FOLLOW FROM 3:30-4:30 IN THE CLAIBORNE- ROBERTSON ROOM ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF VMFA NEXT TO AMUSE RESTAURANT
